OC and Team Hunter: Another hit from the community

The idea of philanthropy is not about how many people see and recognize what a person is giving. It is a selfless act that should be effective at helping other’s without the noise of accolades to the actual giver.

This week The Pine Bluff Commercial hailed the efforts of its native son Torii Hunter, who along with his wife Katrina and the persistent assistance of Odyssey’s CEO Jerricka Kelly are making positive changes in the community where they each grew up.

Columnist for The Pine Bluff Commercial, Chan Davis wrote, “As Hunter prepares for the upcoming season, his on-field efforts become priority. His focus unwavering from the professional path he chose. Yet, through assistance from ground troops in various cities, including Pine Bluff, his off-field efforts continue.”

Those ground troops include committed Team Hunter players such as Jerricka Kelly, who remarks in the article, “He and his wife (Katrina) are both natives of Pine Bluff. Both graduated from Pine Bluff High School. They are private in their giving because they are doing it because it needs to be done…”

Giving back to each community we are a part of builds hope as well as personal character. Odyssey Concierge salutes the continued efforts of The Torii Hunter Projectand its ambitious intent to diligently serve the community.
